I am a science instrument analyst at the Space Telescope Science Institute. I have been working here since Hubble launched in 1990. Most of my projects involve the cameras on the Hubble satellite. I design observing strategies and analyze images from Hubble's main cameras, both to calibrate (fine-tune) and maintain them, and for science projects.

What or who inspired me to really go after the profession I am in now?

Carl Sagan and the Voyager and Viking planetary missions.

What I like about my job:

Hanging with the astronauts.

What school subjects do I use at work?

Math, physics, astronomy, speaking, and history.
